TV WRITERS! My ground-breaking book, STORY MAPS: TV DRAMA: The Structure of the One-Hour Television Pilot, has been dubbed by some as “Save the Cat for TV,” and praised by many industry professsionals with endorsements like “A fantastic primer in developing a rock-solid one-hour TV pilot…breaks TV pilot structure down step by step for the first time, using very specific examples from some of the great pilots of recent years…I wish I’d had this book when I was first starting out…This book blows all others out of the water!” The reason I wrote this book is simple: After having many clients ask me if I had a Story Map for teleplays, I found that a structural beat sheet paradigm that included the proper page ranges for act breaks just did not exist for TV pilots (and with 455 scripted series on air and streaming, this was a true crime!). So I researched the best shows on television and the pro scripts that spawned them and came up with the most detailed, accessible beat sheet ever written for episodic television, with an easy-to-follow primer on the craft and business of writing a rock-solid pilot.
